Hi all When Laura is getting ready to go out, Donna looks at Sarah's ashtray and says: "If I had a nickel for every cigarette your mom smokes, I'd be dead", or something like that. Anyone know what that means, if anything?

If I had a nickel for every cigarette your mom smokes, I'd be [able to buy a gun and shoot myself] dead

It's just a weird kind of joke that doesn't quite make sense, a bit like Groucho Marx or one of those 1950s detective films, like The Big Sleep. I think FWWM is full of great lines like the one you mention, eg, Bobby: Where were you? Laura: I was standing right behind you, but you were too dumb to turn around. If he turned around, he might get dizzy and fall down. And other lines like that.

Yeh, it's definitely a strange line since somebody normal should rather say "I'd be rich" instead of "I'd be dead". And, by the way, did we see Sarah smoking that a lot in the series? I think there is more stress on her smoking in the film, ain't I wrong?

In the series only tough-wannabe teenagers (both male and female), dandy-wannabe dudes and evil people smoke... Oh, and Albert... Mothers of disfunctional families smoking are more movie stuff, along with nudity and wigs...

It's called a non-sequitur.

Uh... she'd be crushed under the weight of all the nickels? From the pilot: Sarah Palmer: Laura, sweetheart, I'm not going to tell you again.
[She takes a drag on a cigarette]
Yes I am. Laura!
The question is, Where have you gone?

I bet the Palmer household and all items within smell like ass.

They changed the name from Stinkpalmer when they arrived in the country.

The Cap'N'Crunch behind her in the Pilot has actually been renamed Carcinogen Crunch.

Everyone smoked everywhere in the 50's. It's a noir-ish habit. There's that deleted scene where Doc wonders aloud why he lets Laura smoke in his house, and the one where Laura takes a drag from Sarah's and she disapproves... Nervous people and femme fatales smoke.

j said "I bet the Palmer household and all items within smell like ass." Don't see why? The cigarettes were smoked using the oral orifice. Some strange practices in Twin Peaks but anal cig inhalation ?

Smoking and drinking coffee are David Lynch's raisons d'être so it's not shocking they're both part of the show.
Fetishes.

Just imagine French kissing Sarah Palmer.
